🇫🇷 🧕 French far-right MP Julien Odoul shares an AI-altered image removing a Muslim woman’s hijab, captioning it “FRENCH FREEDOM.”

The post comes as France’s National Rally renews calls to ban the hijab in public spaces.

*الخَوَافِي لِلْخَوَافِي*…

هَلْ لَدَيْكَ خَوَافِي مُؤْلِمَاتٌ لَا يَعْلَمُهُنَّ إِلَّا اللَّهُ��
فَاجْعَلْ لَهُنَّ خَوَافِيَ صَالِحَاتٍ لَا يَعْلَمُهُنَّ إِلَّا اللَّهُ…

*فَمَرَضُكَ الَّذِي لَا يَعْلَمُهُ إِلَّا اللَّهُ،
اجْعَلْ لَهُ صَدَقَةً خَفِيَّةً لَا يَعْلَمُهَا إِلَّا اللَّهُ*!

وَالْهَمُّ الَّذِي يَرْبِضُ عَلَى صَدْرِكَ وَلَا يَعْلَمُهُ إِلَّا اللَّهُ،
اجْعَلْ لَهُ اسْتِغْفَارًا خَفِيًّا لَا يَسْمَعُهُ إِلَّا اللَّهُ!

وَالْقَلَقُ الَّذِي يَعْتَرِيكَ وَلَا يَعْلَمُهُ إِلَّا اللَّهُ،
اجْعَلْ لَهُ رَكْعَتَيْنِ فِي اللَّيْلِ لَا يَرَاهُمَا إِلَّا اللَّهُ!

وَهَكَذَا اصْنَعْ مَعَ كُلِّ خَافِيَةٍ تُؤْلِمُكَ وَتُرْهِقُكَ، وَلَا يَعْلَمُ بِهَا إِلَّا اللَّهُ؛
اجْعَلْ لَهَا خَوَافِيَ صَالِحَةً لَا يَعْلَمُهَا إِلَّا اللَّهُ،
وَكُنْ وَاثِقًا بِاللَّهِ، مُوقِنًا بِفَرَجِهِ وَرَحْمَتِهِ…

فَالْخَوَافِي لِلْخَوَافِي!

From a Somaliland perspective, sovereignty in the 21st century should be grounded in law, historical legitimacy, and the democratic will of the people. This is the standard Somaliland upholds. @OlivierCadic Thank you for your continued support.

Acknowledged at Home, Denied at the UN: #Somalia’s #Somaliland Genocide Contradiction

Somalia’s president, Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, has acknowledged and publicly apologized for the genocide committed against the people of Somaliland by the Siad Barre regime, a position that sharply contrasts with statements made by Somalia’s envoy at the United Nations.

During yesterday’s UN Security Council meeting, Somalia’s ambassador to the UN, Abukar Balle, denied that genocide, triggering criticism from survivors, civil society groups, and observers who say the atrocities are extensively documented through eyewitness testimony, mass graves, and international human rights reports.

The contradiction between the Somali president’s acknowledgment and the UN envoy’s denial has reignited debate over historical accountability, truth, and justice for crimes committed in the late 1980s, when Somaliland cities including Hargeisa and Burao were subjected to large-scale destruction, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of civilians.

Somaliland restored its sovereignty in 1991 and has since maintained its own governing institutions, security forces, and democratic processes.

A new chapter of recognition and hope is opening for my country #Somaliland after years of struggle. Alhamdulillah.
Israel is the first country to recognize us, and the rest of the world will follow, as Somaliland’s legitimacy, peace, and progress become undeniable.

From a Kurdish citizen of Kurdistan to my brothers and sisters in Somaliland:

I congratulate Somaliland on its independence! Thank you to every country, foreign or Muslim, that recognized this new state and its people, who have long suffered injustice, oppression, and persecution, and who chose their path to self-determination and declared their new nation.

We wish you all the best, peace, prosperity, and progress.

Somalia’s e-visa system remains online despite being hacked and fully breached. More than 35,000 travellers’ passport details and personal data have already been exposed.

Yet the platform is still accepting new applications and processing card payments via Premier Bank, Mastercard Payment Gateway Services, and its merchant, Empire Technology Solutions (ETS). Leaked records tie ETS to members of President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud’s family.

Visa and Mastercard should urgently investigate and suspend all processing. Allowing a compromised, politically connected platform to continue collecting passport and payment information is unacceptable.

"Somalia Data Breach: Travelers' Data Exposed Due to Poor Cybersecurity Measures – Military, Diplomats, and Aid Workers Affected"

[Maryan @mari_ah]

🚨 Breaking News – Urgent Alert 🚨

Somalia’s 🇸🇴 illegal e-visa system has led to a major national security crisis.

A massive data breach has exposed passport details of British Lt. Colonel Kathie Knell advisor to Somalia’s 🇸🇴 National Security Advisor Aweys Haji Yusuf (@ONSSomalia) along with numerous UK 🇬🇧, US 🇺🇸, and EU 🇪🇺 diplomats and military personnel. This isn’t just incompetence; it’s a serious security failure in a country already facing Al-Shabaab threats.

Hackers now have sensitive information, putting lives and families at risk. How can a fragile state endanger allies over a flawed system?

@US2SOMALIA @UKinSomalia @HeadBritOffice @EUtoAU @cheekyfiki Urgent action is needed to remove this dangerous e-visa system! ⚠️

[khalid Gabbal @khalidgabbal]

The failure of Somalia’s E-Visa system, which exposed sensitive data of foreign nationals is a symptom of a failed system. The "Mogadishu Mafia" can't even secure the data of the travellers they rely on, leaving them exposed to Al-Shabaab.

🚨SHOCKING:

A critical vulnerability in Somalia’s E-Visa system has exposed the personal data of hundreds of foreign nationals — including tourists, humanitarian workers, and diplomats — leaving them dangerously exposed to potential targeting by the Al-Shabaab militant group.

The flaw reportedly unauthorized access to applicants’ sensitive information, creating an urgent security risk for individuals and organizations operating within or traveling to Somalia.

All aircraft that flew over Somaliland's airspace today were given instructions stating that they cannot enter the airspace without the permission of the Ministry of Civil Aviation.

Dear @realDonaldTrump
This is your Roosevelt moment on the Red Sea! As a Somaliland-born founder of WorldRemit & former UN whistleblower on Somalia aid corruption, I urge you to recognize Somaliland’s independence in exchange for exclusive access to Berbera’s military base — a low-cost win over China’s gains & Somalia’s $50B failure.

Full open letter attached.
